You must work in very different big corps than I, I have yet to see a binary .so we linked to but didn't have the source to.

The kind of corps where Oracle and SQL Server licenses are tiny drops on project expenses, do Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and UNIX in general.

I am quite sure WebSphere, just to give an example, isn't releasing the source code for the .so that come along its Java implementation.

you live in a very shelled, blessed world (just looking at the fact that you said ".so", and not ".dll built with Visual Studio 2012").
